Just a headsup - maybe common knowledge or not, but have a look at the choice you get when you go to add a new tab to your homepage....It's still a bit US centric - I got more Australian news sites by using Australia for a tab name than when i tried News, but the Rugby one worked a treat !!!

I love the tea house theme so much. It makes me so happy. It reminds me of the elaborate xanga.com journal I kept about 5 years ago! Only without the wasted time on blogging. :)I want to contact google and tell them that they got something right!

I don't get it. Tea House is great, and because I prefer the night scenes, I set my location to a place where it's night during my daytime, but it worked erratically. One minute it would be night, the next it would be day. So I set the time on my system to reflect PM instead of AM. That worked, except people started asking me why I was emailing them in the middle of the night. So I switched back to a different location, and all is well, EXCEPT I'm not getting the Easter Egg anymore. One minute there's a plate of cookies, the next they're gone. But I miss the entire ghost scene, which is my favorite.

Any suggestions? I'm betting others have had this problem, too. I know I could use a script to set it manually (I tried that for a while) but that's kind of a hassle, and not as much fun, somehow. I'd love to hear any ideas.

I LOVE the Tea House theme! The little fox is so cute! I have yet to see the ghosts, but may stay up early and see them at 3:14 AM. By the way, changing your clock doesn't work. I tried it. Either that, or I'm doing something totally wrong. This is cool Google, but maybe put this in all your themes. (Tea house would still be my favorite though. So cute and relaxing!) :)
